ANOTHER BUOENSIEk AFFAIR
Fall of New but shaady Buiiding-Five
Men Kiiled.

New YORK, Oct Is-A four-story build
ing in course of erection at 443 East One
Hundred and Fifteenth street for Roman
Catholic school house tumbled in Monday
afternoon about O'Clock and some of the
mechanics who We're at work were buried in
the ruins. At 8 O'Clock p. m five dead bodies
had been taken out Four men were also
taken from the ruins seriously injured and al
most suffocated. The supposition was that
there were still fourteen men underneath the
debris, but this was a mistake. A dozen
were more or less severely injured The
names of the killed are: John Durkin. brick
layer; Henry Reinitz blacksmith: Parol
GILBERT, lshOrer, and Girolamo Launa
The badly injured are Father kierners of
the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel;
Robert Young, Thomas Herman, Florica
Daum, Edward WEIGH, Arthur Aronne,
Frank Banner, Robert Levy, John s Con
way, and William Plummer Ten others
were in and about the building at the time
of the collapse but all have been accounted
for, some slightly injured, with the exception
of James Mccarthy, a bricklayer; a boy
named Brown and Michael Lannon, whose
friends had searched for six hours after the
accident in vain. Father Kierners was stand
ing on the scaffolding Of the fourth floor talk
ing to Foreman Lynch when the crash came.
The priest was thrown to the forward part
of the wreck, landing on his feet. He fell
into mass of ruins and was probably fatal
ly injured. Conway was covered by debris,
but extricated.
The wounded were taken to hospitals
Henry Reinitz, the blacksmith, was at work
in his shop next door. which was crushed
and Reinitz was killed by his anvil The
boy Levy, who was having horse shod, was
covered with rimbers and badly crushed The
buildings were evidently put up in violation
of the building laws in regard to thickness of
walls 1t is still thought by some that sew
eral more bodies will be found in the wreck.

MIXED UP AT CHATTANOOGA.



ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 1S.-The presidential
special arrived at Chattanooga about 40 p
IN Monday, in heavy rainstorm A COM
mittee was on hand prepared to escort the
party through the city No objection was
made to the storm. The president and Mrs.
Cleveland and their guests. excepting Mrs
Nilas who WAS indisposed, took carriage
and drove for half an hour through the prin-
cipal thoroughtares The city was derked
out in profusion of bunting the headauar-
tiers of the Forrest Confederate post
and the Grand Army being the most con-
spicuous.
The presidential carriage had been trimmed
by the ladies of the city for the occasion and
as the decorations would not permit raising
of the top the result was a pretty severe
drenching for the executive. Mrs CIeye-
land also had to stand her share of rain
Governor Taylor and staff who had reached
the city in advance of the presidential party,
were formed in line in carriages to act as
the escort to the president and his friends.
When the latter were seated the procession
moved, but through some miss on the part of
the committee management the presiden-
tai party became separated from that
of the governor, and when the former
had returned to the train the latter
was probably still at the court house waiting
for the president to arrive Besides the gov
ernor and his staff there were upward of TO-
HJu persons also waiting, and they were prob
ably still waiting when the train drew out of
the station, bound for Atlanta In the con-
fusion MeSsrs. Bissell and Bryant became en-
tlrely separated from the presidential pro
cession, and after the break in the line were
following that of Governor Taylor and staff

panied by Mr.. c. A. Collyon, president Of

train and paid their respects to the prt,siden-
tlal party.
An elaborate display of fireworks were ex-
ploded on the top OF kenesaw mountain, at
which point the train STOPPED about fifteen
minutes, but owing to the heavy clouds the
view WAS partially cut off from the train

John G. Whittier, in congratulatory let
ter to Mr. Childs, said @1he gift Won pre-
sent was happy thought, and will go far
toward atoning for the foolish utterances
about England coming from some American
citizens
The mayor, in his speech of acceptance,
said: Everybody must acknowledge that it

Mr.. Henry Irving then read the poem writ

Land Of our Fathers, Ocean makes us two,
But heart to heart is true,
Proud is your towering daughter in the West

Her mothers pulses beating lin her breast
This holy fount whose rills from Heaven descend
Its gracious drops shall lend
Both foreheads bathed in that baptismal dew,
And love make one the OLD home and the new
Mr.. irving read the poem with splendid
effect, and then pronounced a eulogiSiic ad-
dress, concluding with these words: I'VE can
picture Shakespeare returning from his
bourne to find upon the throne queen ruling
with gentler sway than the great sovereign
he knew, yet whose reign has glories more
beneticent than Elizabeths We can imag-
inc his emotion at finding the England he
loved so well expanded beyond the seas; at
